Article for each meridian?

I'm combing through articles with no sources, and came across 169th meridian east. It looks like @Bazonka went through the process of creating an article for each and every meridian years ago. I doubt that any of them are notable, but wanted to flag these for WP:Geography as I am unaware if there are any guidelines about this that might supercede notability.

Repost: Guideline for the layout of geography articles, especially settlements?

Greetings and felicitations. I'm reposting this because I did not receive any comments to my original thread. Is there are guideline for the general layout of geography-related articles, especially settlements? I tend to see lede; name etymology, when present; history; geography (with climate as a subsection); and then things like economy and government/politics. Is this correct? β€”DocWatson42 (talk) 18:51, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

:There is a guideline for countries, but it is loose and not consistently adhered to. Categories with even more members will have even more variation. Settlements may have been covered by Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities, but it is not very active. Like here. CMD (talk) 16:35, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

:If it's any help, there are various guidelines for UK articles listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography#Guidelines, and various discussions about improving them on their talk pages and the project talk page. NebY (talk) 17:04, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

::Thank you both. ^_^ β€”DocWatson42 (talk) 19:07, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

Help fixing up pages for [[Geography]], [[Human geography]], and [[Physical geography]]

Recently, I have gotten Technical geography to GA status. I'd like to do the same for the main geography page, as well as the pages for the human and physical geography branches. I've done some cleanup for human and physical recently in line with feedback I've received on the technical and main geography page. I'd appreciate any help involving citations and cleanup. I should note that human geography has been the weekly article for improvement twice, but is still a disaster. GeogSage (βš”Chat?βš”) 18:02, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
